My LCD monitor has bitten the dust and need to replace it. Am limited to 20" size. Any suggestions on a monitor good for use in working on photos? What capabilities should I focus on? Tks.

What's your budget?

Not sure. If I remember correctly, the old one cost about $200. What's reasonable?

I have two 19" Planar monitors that I got earlier this year (PL1910M) for about $200 each. They're good, and they do display 16.7 million colors (necessary; the manual says 16.2 million, a misprint that caused me some anxiety till I called the manufacturer).
